  2. Interpersonal ties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpersonal_ties

    Interpersonal ties, generally, come in three varieties: strong, weak or absent. Weak social ties, it is argued, are responsible for the majority of the embeddedness and structure of social networks in society as well as the transmission of information through these networks. Specifically, more novel information flows to individuals through weak ...

  3. Bridge (interpersonal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_(interpersonal)

    In general, a bridge is a direct tie between nodes that would otherwise be in disconnected components of the graph. [ 1 ] This means that say that A and B make up a social networking graph, n 1 {\displaystyle n_{1}} is in A, n 2 {\displaystyle n_{2}} is in B, and there is a social tie e {\displaystyle e} between n 1 {\displaystyle n_{1}} and n ...

  4. Simmelian tie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simmelian_tie

    A simmelian tie (can be capitalized as a Simmelian tie [1]) is a type of an interpersonal tie, a concept used in the social network analysis. For a simmelian tie to exist, there must be three (a triad) or more of reciprocal strong ties in a group. A simmelian tie is seen as an even stronger tie than a regular strong tie.

  5. Dunbar's number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar's_number

    Dunbar's number has become of interest in anthropology, evolutionary psychology, [12] statistics, and business management.For example, developers of social software are interested in it, as they need to know the size of social networks their software needs to take into account; and in the modern military, operational psychologists seek such data to support or refute policies related to ...

  6. Biological network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_network

    Scientists and graph theorists continuously discover new ways of sub sectioning networks and thus a plethora of different algorithms exist for creating these relationships. [56] Like many other tools that biologists utilize to understand data with network models, every algorithm can provide its own unique insight and may vary widely on aspects ...

  7. Weighted network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_network

    A weighted network is a network where the ties among nodes have weights assigned to them. A network is a system whose elements are somehow connected. [1] The elements of a system are represented as nodes (also known as actors or vertices) and the connections among interacting elements are known as ties, edges, arcs, or links.

  8. Relationship science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_science

    Relationship science is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to the scientific study of interpersonal relationship processes. [1] Due to its interdisciplinary nature, relationship science is made up of researchers of various professional backgrounds within psychology (e.g., clinical, social, and developmental psychologists) and outside of psychology (e.g., anthropologists, sociologists ...

  9. Mathematical sociology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_sociology

    To tackle this problem, graph theory, which is the mathematical study of abstract representations of networks of points and lines, can be extended to include these two types of links and thereby to create models that represent both positive and negative sentiment relations, which are represented as signed graphs.
